Former governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has urged Nigerian youths to change their attitude and pursue those things that will add to the development of the society.
He also advised them to pursue their needs rather than wants so that they would not be involved in shady deals that could lead to unhealthy consequences.
The minister nominee stated these at the launching of a book containing the opinions and suggestions of a former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Segun Olulade on national issues tagged; “Eleniyan Perspectives.”

In his lecture titled, ‘You can be what you want to be’, Aregbesola, who was the chairman of the occasion stated that predators take all they want to take, and that while predators are few, the preys are many.
He enjoined Nigerians, especially the youths to discover their needs and separate them from their wants. “Needs are the things you require daily such as food, water, shelter and others.
“Wants are things like houses, cars and others. A car is a necessity in our society, but your choice of cars should be according to your capacity. Many people pursue their wants and forget their needs. Wants are expensive, but needs are not,” he said.
He eulogised Hon. Segun Olulade for his good works and good leadership and his commitment to the Tinubu course, saying that he was one of the few young men that devoted their lives to ensure that Tinubu became the Governor of Lagos State then.
